β- decay of 65Mn to 65Fe
(American Physical Society, 2013-10-07)The low-energy structure of 65Fe has been studied by means of γ and fast-timing spectroscopy at the ISOLDE facility, CERN. A level scheme of 65Fe populated following the β-decay of 65Mn was established for the first time. ... -
The rock coast of South and Central America
(Geological Society Memoirs 2014, 2014-07)The great variety of climatic conditions, tidal ranges and wave regimes of South and Central America act on a complex geology and tectonic framework. Many of the rock and cliffed coasts of South America are strongly ... -
A combined experimental and theoretical study of gas sorption on nanoporous silver triazolato metal-organic frameworks
(2014-01-01)A new silver-triazolate metal-organic framework (MOF), {Ag 3[Ag5(μ3-3,5-tBu 2tz)6](BF4)2}n (2), has been prepared and structurally characterized. The CO2 sorption properties of this new MOF and previously reported isostructural ... -
Evaluating SODA for Indo-Pacific Ocean decadal climate variability studies
(Journal of Geophysical Research: Oceans, 2014-10-31)Estimates of changes in upper ocean temperature, heat content, and sea level are dependent on the coverage of subsurface observations in space and time. Historically, these data are sparse, which has limited our understanding ... -
Nations work together to size up Caribbean tsunami hazards
(AGU.ORG, 2018-10-04)El Caribe es conocido por sus playas tropicales y centros de surf, pero no está exento de terremotos y tsunamis. Durante los últimos 500 años, esta región puede haber estado expuesta a aproximadamente 100 tsunamis, de los ... -
Polycrystalline indium films in the percolation threshold regime: Time correlation between electric conduction and optical properties with film morphology
(IOP Publishing Ltd., 2014-02-21)Polycrystalline indium films have been deposited at room temperature by electron beam evaporation on amorphous quartz substrates. Once deposited, electrical resistance and specular reflection of the films, for wavelengths ... -
Multiparticle emission in the decay of Ar 31
(American Physical Society, 2014-06-25)A multihit capacity setup was used to study the decay of the dripline nucleus 31Ar, produced at the ISOLDE facility at CERN. A spectroscopic analysis of the β-delayed three-proton decay of 31Ar is presented for the first ... -
Sizeable beta-strength in 31Ar (β3p) decay
(Physics Letters, Section B: Nuclear, Elementary Particle and High-Energy Physics, 2014-10-07)We present for the first time precise spectroscopic information on the recently discovered decay mode β-delayed 3p-emission. The detection of the 3p events gives an increased sensitivity to the high energy part of the ... -
Hidrography and river plumes in Golfo Dulce, South Pacific of Costa Rica
(Universidad de Costa Rica, 2015-07)Oceanographic variables at 33 stations distributed in Golfo Dulce, Costa Rica, during the dry and rainy seasons between 2009 and 2010, were analyzed with CTD profiles, where salinity, temperature, sigma-T and currents were ... -
The rip current hazard in Costa Rica
(2015-01-31)Deaths from rip currents are a major hazard on global beaches, but few data are available at a national scale to support the development of appropriate intervention programs. Analysis of data from the Judicial Investigation ... -
Slow westward movement of salinity anomalies across the tropical South Indian Ocean
(American Geophysical Union, 2015-08-06)Decadal salinity variability is an important characteristic of the ocean. It characterizes differences in evaporative and precipitation fluxes at the surface, and in the subsurface it contributes to steric sea level change ... -
Polymer gel dosimeter based on itaconic acid
(2015-11)A new polymeric dosimeter based on itaconic acid and N, N'-methylenebisacrylamide was studied. The preparation method, compositions of monomer and crosslinking agent and the presence of oxygen in the dosimetric system were ... -
Electrochemical Hydrogen Oxidation on Pt(100): a Combined Direct Molecular Dynamics/Density Functional Theory Study

Variations in the geostrophic circulation pattern and thermohaline structure in the Southeast Central American Pacific
(Revista de Biologia Tropical vol.64 suppl.1 s121-s134 2016, 2016-03)This study was conducted in the southeast region of the Central American Pacific, an area of great oceanographic importance due to the presence of various upwelling phenomena and the direct influence of the ENSO on its ... -
Experimental validation of gallium production and isotope-dependent positron range correction in PET
(Nuclear Instruments and Methods in Physics Research Section A: Accelerators, Spectrometers, Detectors and Associated Equipment vol.814 110-116 2016, 2016-04-01)Positron range (PR) is one of the important factors that limit the spatial resolution of positron emission tomography (PET) preclinical images. Its blurring effect can be corrected to a large extent if the appropriate ... -
